With light rain falling Sunday, hand crews in Ventura County continued to work on establishing a more than mile-long fire break in the Hidden Valley area to complete containment of the 28,000-acre Springs fire.

The fire, which erupted near Thousand Oaks on Thursday and quickly spread to the Pacific Ocean, was 60% contained, with full containment expected by Monday, officials said.

The fire scorched large swaths of rugged mountain terrain and forced the evacuation of hundreds of homes. But a dramatic improvement in the weather on Saturday helped firefighters get a handle on the blaze.
